Nordic Irish Studies Journal

Nordic
Irish Studies is a
peer-reviewed annual printed
journal that was established in 2002 with the main aim of reflecting
the research activities of the Centre for Irish Studies, Aarhus (CISA),
Dalarna University Centre for Irish Studies (DUCIS), and NISN (Nordic
Irish Studies Network). The journal soon attracted the attention of
Irish Studies specialists from beyond the borders of the Scandinavian
countries, and the journal consequently broadened its approach to
include research within the area of Irish Studies also produced outside
Scandinavia.

The aim of the journal is to
publish quality research done by
literature specialists, historians, social scientists, political
scientists, musicologists, and geographers, as well as by scholars from
other disciplines included in the field of Irish Studies. Nordic
Irish Studies supports both the
publication of inter-disciplinary
work, and studies rooted in the methodologies and theories of the
individual scholars’ disciplines.

We believe that Irish Studies
needs to be slightly
‘de-hibernicised’, i.e. that it needs to become
less
preoccupied with the study of notions and images of Ireland and their
deconstruction, and more concerned with the study of issues relevant to
Irish society, politics, history and culture in an international and
comparative perspective. Nordic
Irish Studies fosters the
publication of scholarly work produced with this ethos.
